Restaurant Review
If you are looking to eat authentic Italian homemade food, then
look no further than this little restaurant in Wooburn Green.
Centrally located in the
village, the restaurant
looks very inviting
with its inside/outside
decking and sprawling
grapevine over the
entrance. The bi-folding
doors give Dolce a light
and bright feel and a
warm welcome from
Pasq is always waiting.
Once inside you’ll be
surprised by the contemporary styling and
sepia images adorning the walls. But let’s talk
about the food, and we’ve got a lot to say!
Following Pasq’s lead (he’s the owner) we
shared the Spaghetti con Gamberi Anchovies
to start. This isn’t something we would usually
order with anchovies being quite salty, but it
was delicious. Pasq explained that during the
cooking process the anchovies break down
(not literally) and create an extremely tasty
sauce to accompany the tiger
prawns, cherry tomatoes, white
wine, chilli, spinach and rocket.
Honestly, please try this because
we absolutely loved it!
This was followed by a pizza of
two halves, one being Pizza di
Busso and the other Pizza di
Santino – I just couldn’t decide
which one to order so that problem was
solved, I had them both. Once again, very
delicious, and very filling.
Washed down with excellent Italians wines
(you won’t find any other nation’s wine on the
menu) we took time to take in the atmosphere
and admire the styling of the restaurant. It
really is quite unique.
Despite our tummies being full we did manage
to just about sample the artisan pistachio ice
cream. Very green, but oh so tasty.
The prices are reasonable with pizzas starting
at just £9.95.
Established in 2009, we have watched this
restaurant grow and grow. There is plenty of
free parking to the rear of the restaurant and
the hospitality is true to form of Italians with
cheeky chat and plenty of friendly banter.
We know how hard it is to run your own
business and Pasq has done so well with
Dolce. Days off are all too few so for the first
two weeks of
January the
restaurant
closes so the
staff can have
some rest and
relaxation.
